If you are a fan of high-performance cars, the Falcon F7 is sure to get your motor running.

Only a few are built by hand each year by a small team at Falcon Motorsports in Holly. The car can reach speeds of more than 200 mph, with the help of engines made by Brighton-based Lingenfelter Performance Engineering.

That high performance doesn't come cheap. Falcon Motorsports founder Jeff Lemke said the Falcon F7 sells for $295,000 to $395,000, depending on the options.

If you want to see how it's made, tune in to the Science channel next week. The Falcon F7 will be featured in an episode of the "How It's Made" series that will air at 9 p.m. Thursday.

Science is a sister network of the Discovery Channel.

"It's going to be broadcast to millions of people around the world, so a lot more people are going to become aware of who we are," Lemke said.

Lemke is a car enthusiast who started designing the Falcon F7 in 2009. It made its first appearance at Detroit's North American International Auto Show in 2011 as a concept car. In 2012, the first Falcon F7s were delivered to customers.

Ken Lingenfelter, owner of Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, said he was happy to provide the engine for Lemke's Falcon F7.

"Jeff has been a friend, and this is a labor of love for him," Lingenfelter said. "Because of our prominence in the engine-building world, he thought it would be really good to be able to offer our brand in his car."

The Falcon F7 comes with two engine options: a standard 620-horsepower V-8 or a 1,100-horsepower twin turbo. Lingenfelter engines are based on General Motors products.

"Lingenfelter has been around for 40 years, and they definitely know what they are doing in regard to engine building," Lemke said.

It takes Falcon Motorsports four months to six months to build a Falcon F7, with its crew of seven typically building two or three at a time.

"We build the chassis from the ground up, we manufacture all the body panels and assemble the car here," Lemke said.

The Falcon F7 is made of carbon fiber and aluminum, weighs less than 3,000 pounds, and has a hand-crafted leather interior.

While they are very expensive, Lemke said there is a market for the hand-built cars.

"It's kind of the way the early Ferraris and early Lamborghinis started out," he said. "Eventually their brand grew, and they became more production-type cars. This is more of the old-school thing.

"People who used to have Ferraris and Lamborghinis, they just want something a little more unique and special. That's where we come in," he said.

Lemke said the "How It's Made" film crew spent a week in April at the Falcon Motorsports shop in Holly, then returned for another week in December. The crew also did some filming at Lingenfelter's engine facility in Wixom.

While Lingenfelter's brand is well-established, he said TV exposure never hurts.

"It'll be great. We do a number of things with the Velocity channel, and this is just one more that always helps," he said.
